Didn't make the placings last time at Ascot Park (22.64) in a Class 5 H, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth. Goes very well off the draw boasting two wins and two places from five starts. Well worth another chance.

Could manage only fifth last time but turned heads the start prior when he clocked a brilliant 16.99 over 295m finishing third at this track. Prepared to overlook.
